August 20th, here in Loveland, Colorado, we had people from every walk of life put on their leathers, fire up their bikes and ride for the cause of helping single moms.It was a great sight to behold. There were over riders 70 riders that went thundering on down the road riding several different routes over, around and along the foothills of Northern Colorado.We met back at a local park for a BBQ amid fellow riders with some of our single moms and their children. The plans are already in the works for the second annual BTG benefit ride in August 2012.Once again we want to thank all of the BUSINESS SPONSORS for donating and for seeing the bigger picture in helping the community of single moms.

Though the Mountains be Shaken...
In Isaiah it says that even with the mountains shaking and hills being moved, His unfailing love for people will not be shaken nor His covenant of peace be removed because of HIS compassion for us. (Isaiah 54). This month, the mountains and foothills were shaking with the thunder of motorcycles and the feet of runners as they felt the compassion and the love of the Lord for single moms and their children. In two separate events but with the same heart these special people had the identical goal of raising money and awareness for accomplishing home repairs for the single mothers and their children.

Special thanks to our incredibleAthletes that ran the race. They started in Ft. Collins at 7:30 am on Friday August 12th and finished the race in 30hrs:22min:32sec on Saturday afternoon August 13th in Steamboat Springs. These motivated runners trained for months leading up to race day. They embarked on the 200 mile challenge as they ran through rain, wind, hot sun, paved and dirt roads. They continued nonstop and unrelenting through the middle of the night and across a mountain pass with compassion and love with the goal of raising money for single mom home repairs. The roads they encountered at times were extreme, yet with a greater purpose than themselves, they overcame and conquered any and all obstacles set in their path. We can learn from these runners that even in the midst of sometimes emotional and physical strain, when we've chosen a course in our lives, and God is in it; we will succeed. With the strength of the Lord and our lives filled with God inspired compassion , there's no limit to what we can do.
The second group of people we would like to thank are our Individual Sponsors. Their financial contribution is the reason we now have a special Fund to use for the sole purpose of purchasing materials and supplies to assist the many Single Moms who have so patiently waited for their opportunity for Be the Gift and our staff to come and assist them. Some have water leaking into their home, non functioning bathrooms, and the list goes on and on. We know all of those that sacrificed to sponsor the race are also filled with compassion and love.
In Next Months Issue we will share about our September Project where we worked in a home that houses 15 Single Moms and their children. What an exciting day. Stay tuned.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU THAT ARE IN OUR LIVES. God Bless Chris & Marilyn
